The 30th annual Fun City Bowl at Giant's Stadium ended like so many others. The FDNY football team succumbed to the NYPD Finest like they have 20 other times. As always, not many points seperated these two teams, with the Finest beating the Bravest 10 - 0. Early-on the two teams exchanged missed field goals. There was a swirling wind at the Meadowlands that made it pretty tough on the kickers. Near the middle of the second quarter, the NYPD was able to put-up three and take that lead to the locker room at half-time. Early in the third the Bravest put together a drive that looked like they might put one in the endzone. But, the Cop defense came up big and stopped the Firemen in their tracks. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the NYPD put it together and made their way down the field sending Steven McGuire, a former University of Miami Hurricane, into the endzone for the games only touchdown. If you missed the game you can catch pieces of it on NBC Saturday night, May 25th at either 8 or 9 o'clock. The game was shown live on MSG and might be shown again on the Rewind. We'll see you soon.
